Replacement for skipping stone

[mjrau]

Hi guys,
I've been very spoiled by using a skipping stone as my ranged item for so long, but now that it's gone I would like advice on replacement. I tried shirikins but I'm not really impressed about the much less range of them. Is there something better I can get or should I just suck it up and get used to the seemingly drastically shorter ranged item?

I'd love a clicky akin to the staff of temporal flux on the wizard.
